Global Debt Surpasses 244 Trillion Dollars As “Nearly Half The World Lives On Less Than $5.50 A Day”
By Michael Snyder – The borrower is the servant of the lender, and one of the primary ways that the elite keep the rest of us subjugated is through the $244,000,000,000,000 mountain of global debt that has been accumulated. Every single day, the benefits of our labor are going to enrich somebody else. A portion of the taxes that are deducted from your paycheck is used to pay interest on government debt. A portion of the profits that your company makes probably goes to servicing some form of business debt. And most Americans are continuously making payments on their mortgages, their auto loans, their credit card balances and their student loan debts. But most people never stop to think about who is becoming exceedingly wealthy on the other end of these transactions. Needless to say, it isn’t the 46 percent of the global population that is living on less than $5.50 a day.
The world has never seen anything like this mountain of debt ever before, and one of the central themes of The Economic Collapse Blog is that all of this debt will ultimately destroy our society. According to the Institute of International Finance, the total amount of global debt is now “more than three times the size of the global economy”…

Google Manipulated YouTube Search Results To Program Users’ Behavior
Activist Post – In a new leak that can be accurately labeled “the smoking gun,” Google has been busted manipulating search results on YouTube in order to manipulate social behaviors and control minds. An internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News reveals that Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform.
According to Breitbart, the existence of the blacklist (terms Google considered sensitive) was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News by a source inside the company who wishes to remain anonymous. A partial list of blacklisted terms was also leaked to Breitbart by another Google source. Some of the blacklisted terms included “abortion,” and terms related to the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist and communist, David Hogg.
In the leaked discussion thread, Breitbart further reported that a Google site reliability engineer hinted at the existence of more search blacklists, according to the source. “We have tons of white- and blacklists that humans manually curate,” said the employee. “Hopefully this isn’t surprising or particularly controversial.”
Activist post – Big Tech has been warning shareholders that they may eventually be held liable for harm from their products and infrastructure. Insurance companies haven’t been stupid or crazy enough to cover them for many years now. Regardless, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to psyche us all out as do all the elected officials saying that there is nothing Americans can do to stop the installation of 4G and 5G small cell tower infrastructure wherever they want to put it. They say that this is for our own good.
Stupid and crazy, right? Yet they want Americans to settle for this – even though we shouldn’t. This horrible legislation that they have passed violates our right to free speech and puts us all in harm’s way.
Regardless, Americans are still fighting against this and winning. Cases in point:
- Protest Gets Cell Tower Near Playground Removed in New York
- Victory Against Verizon by Angry Residents Who Don’t Want Small Cell Towers In Their Community

Top 8 Nontoxic Cleaners You Can Use at Home
Mercola – Once-weekly use of cleaning products for 20 years may be equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day for 10 to 20 years. Cleaning agents and personal care products are also the second and third most frequent cause for calls to poison control in the U.S.
Long-term exposure to household cleaners and disinfectants has been linked to increases in asthmatic symptoms, nervous system damage, low sperm count, irregularities in menstruation and miscarriage.
The most acutely dangerous cleaning products are corrosive drain cleaners, acidic toilet bowl cleaners and oven cleaners.
Common household products also contribute to air pollution, not just inside the home but also outdoors.
Clearing out your cleaning cabinet is a simple way to safeguard your family’s health. Recipes and guidance on how to make your own homemade cleaning solutions using safe ingredients are included.
In America, there’s basically only one industry that would prosper from everyone being healthy, and that’s the organic food industry. About a century ago, all food in America was naturally organic because farmers and corporations weren’t using chemical pesticides on the crops, and they weren’t juicing up livestock with drugs. All of that has changed. The biggest source of revenue in America has to do with consumers getting sick from the food and staying sick from the medicine, meanwhile other developing countries try to help their citizens stay healthy, by banning known toxins and carcinogens from the food and medicine supply.
Welcome to America, home of adulterated food and chronic sick care, where the corrupted FDA and the CDC purposely deregulate the poisons put in food that other country’s regulatory agencies, like the European Union, consciously filter out and ban.
